I'm upcycling a compass into a miniature diorama and covering the entire thing with cheap two part resin. Enjoy!

My fave things:

Double-sided flooring tape
amzn.to/423tJwL

Miter Shears- this pair is highly rated and has replaceable blades
amzn.to/3LchlUy

Nail Studs- I like these because there are a variety of sizes in silver and brass
amzn.to/3JEtJMd

For under $10, you get a variety of jump rings, lobster clasps and pliers
amzn.to/3Zu7sGd

Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch
amzn.to/3O5nYI6

2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zmMLR1

8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zpiMbm

Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine

In this video, I show you how to create easy egg carton stones and how to add grout without changing the color of your stones. I used the "dry powder" method for adding grout and teach how to achieve the same effect with spackle. Enjoy :)

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, dioramas, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.
